recommendation please

guys, i am just about to buy myself a q6600 (g0 stepping one) with the aim to overclock it, cooling it with a Artic Cooler Freezer 7 Pro.

I've got a Asus P5VDC-MX (V2) which i am also looking to replace.

I would like a motherboard that is excellent for overclocking.

I only have a budget of £140(delivered) but don't have a graphics card, so the 140 would need to include either a basic (i'm not a pc gamer) graphics card compatible with the motherboard, or a motherboard with onboard vga.

I've been searching for the last few weeks on the forum, and been reading a lot about the Asus p5k's, the p5q's etc, but i am getting more and more undecided everytime i read something new.

Can anyone give me a good recommendation?

i do some video editting and converting dvd's and thats about it really......

i will use wifi, but i already have a usb dongle for that.

i have 2xIDE hard drives, 1 IDE dvd writer, and a sata dvd writer, so no major requirements to be honest, apart from being able to overclock fairly well and easily.

any recommendations on the above?

nice one, i think thats my basket full then

anymore recommendations before the order goes through?

yeah i just noticed that the mobo only has 1 ide connection, not good since i put the order in last night

means i'll need to just use my sata dvd drive and my OS ide hard drive in the meantime until i get both a new power supply (current one is an ezcool 550w) as it only has 1 sata power cable. and then i'll need to change the hard drives ........what a nightmare.

lol i didn't budget replacing my drives, so i'm going to just buy a couple of ide to sata power cables, and a sata to ide adapter and plod along until i can buy new drives
